Remember the beginning of the naughties (00's)? We survived the turn of the century but could not survive the consequences of stupidity.
Recession hit us like a boxer returning for their final fight. Credit crisis, banks going bankrupt and just general unemployment.
History will repeat itself, and some of us will be lucky to be a part of two recessions. Fun!
Why am I being pessimistic?
1 - Inflation - Not only the economy but some egos are facing inflation at an alarming rate.
2 - Elon Musk - a guy who believes it is his duty to propagate his species has taken over a platform where many go to vent and which is the place where humanity is at its cruelest because - Anonymity. Same guy who drove up the price of dogecoin. Why is this a problem? It is the start of a certain faction of rich investors waiting to pounce on vulnerable companies and begin layoffs to make a quick profit.
3 - Having a kid right now is like buying a Porsche during your mid-life crisis - Having a child has become so expensive that you only scrape the money required for it sometime in your thirties. Sure, they're cute but then they become teenagers and act like those angry customers who keep on kicking the ATM that doesn't work.
4 - Most people in their twenties have a better chance of being hit by lightnin' than buying a house.
5 - A world of masterchefs - There has been an alarming increase in the number of people cooking at home and subjecting us to their tiktok videos. However, this trend inspired by covid has led to lesser takeout.
6 - Remember those two people, the ones you see once a year after cashing in your last tuition check. Well, the only real estate that'll have you is their basement. More and more ex angsty teenagers turned freeloaders are moving back home.
7 - It's a ploy! It's easier to meet your better half than find a job, so lots of people live together on minimum wage - Shabbily everrrrrr after.
Unemployment line is threatening to go equatorial. And that's where it starts.
